2018 in review
I have seen lots of different people over the past few days post their 2018 in review. This is such as great idea. Reflecting on the year just past is a lovely way of recognising your achievements. On the flip side I have all seen lots of new year resolutions being made. I wonder how many are still holding strong mid-march? As you guys know I like to be different. Mixing things up is my jam. So I want to write a combination post about the past year and the new year coming in. 2018 in Review Giving up Work/Homeschooling This has been a life-changing year for me. At…

1 minute read: Clarins Bain aux Plantes “tonic”
Clarins Bain aux Plantes “tonic” I recently received this little bottle of Bain aux Plantes “tonic” from Clarins and it is so good I wanted to share it with you guys. I absolutely love going to the spa. Every chance I get (which I have to admit is far less than I like!), I head off to the spa. As much I as have tried in the past to get the same experience at home I never seem to get the right mix of oils at home so it ends up feeling like a complete disaster! Enter Clarins Bain aux Plantes “tonic” which is a concentrated bath and shower tonic…

Guinot Hydra Peeling Facial
Guinot Hydra Peeling Facial I recently had the Guinot Hydra Peeling Facial at Exclusive Beauty in Broughshane and wanted to share my review. 2018 became the year I decided to look after my skin. I am not ashamed to admit that this time last year I was using Aveeno body lotion on my face along with facial wipes. In 2017, I had visited my local Debenhams store and purchased some skincare but I it didn’t have the WOW factor for me and as I have mentioned before, I am lazy! To be honest I don’t want to have hundreds of products to remember about EVERY day! But I am 37…

Milia Removal
Milia Removal I have had milia for the past number of years. In fact probably as long as I can remember there have been these bumps sitting on my face not visible to anyone else but for me they may as well had signposts stuck out of them because I thought they were HUGE. Milia are essentially a keratin-composed cyst which you may think is a good thing as keratin is essential to having great skin but not when it clumps together and forms a hard lump buried deep into the epidermis of the skin. They feel like a spot and may even look like one but they are buried…

Bioglan Beauty Collagen
Bioglan Beauty Collagen Recently I was gifted some Bioglan Beauty collagen to try. I have recently started looking after my skin on the outside. Why would I not do the same on the inside? I have mentioned this several times before but at the age of 37 I am really thinking about how I can preserve my skin, hair and nails to the best of my ability. My body has been ill for several years and the effects of medication have been profound. Hair and Skin My hair has become brittle and breaks easily, my nails peel at times and my skin can look dull and listless. Multivitamins can…

Getting ‘down’ with ageing
This is a post that I have been wanting to write for quite some time and its something that I guess we should be talking more about. I am 37. I have given birth naturally to three children. Plus I take a lot of medication for my fibromyalgia. Now these things have taken a toll on my body in many ways but there is one area in which I have noticed a huge change and yet its a “taboo” topic. Well not here ladies. I want to talk about the affects of life, love and ageing on our vaginal skin. Vanity We spend copious amounts of money each year…
